The vision of Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital is ‘to become a world class medical rehabilitation centre by providing excellent service’ (HRC 2013).

Patient fall instances have to be contained by revisiting the existing physical layout of the unit, followed by examination and ad-hoc monitoring of the unit for obstacles in the path of patients. The budgetary allocations have to be handled with sagacity as nursing professional enhancement courses are primary in the current situation. The optimization of allocation of the limited budget would be prioritized with a maximum allocation provided to functions which would lead to immediate solutions for the unit to rebound as a top unit within the organization.

(3) Efficient and profitable management of resources (4) optimize healthcare integration scope.

However, later on it was decided boys would be much easier to house. The mission statement at NCORC is to make a positive and instrumental difference in the lives of youth by providing rehabilitative treatment to meet their individual and collective needs to become productive law abiding citizens (North Central Rehabilation Center).
